Gazing upon the 1953 MG TD, one cannot help but be drawn to its cream canvas, a hue that whispers tales of yesteryear and craftsmanship. This automotive masterpiece, adorned with a beige canvas convertible top, stands proudly on 15" wheels wrapped in 165/15 86T tires, offering a nod to its racing lineage. A full repaint, carried out with meticulous attention during its frame-off restoration in 2008, adds to the allure, ensuring that every curve and line gleams under the sun. The chrome and the spare tire, equally fresh, hint at many adventures to come.
Step inside its tan interior, where bucket seats and a floor shift beckon for drives of endless pleasure and pure, unadulterated joy. The dash, adorned with Jaeger gauges, a pull start knob, low-cut doors, and a large banjo-style steering wheel, transports you to an era where the journey was as thrilling as the destination. With carpets like new and door panels that present themselves with dignity, the cabin of this MG TD demonstrates the care and attention it has received.
Under the bonnet lies a 1250CC engine, its heart an original piece stamped with the number 22285, guaranteeing authenticity and a connection to its roots. The dual carb system and the 4-speed manual transmission evoke the car's glory days on the winding roads of the British countryside. The coil spring with shocks at the front and solid axle with leaf springs at the rear ensure that every turn is met with grace and poise, while the drum brakes at all four corners stand ready to rein in the spirited gallop of this noble steed.
